Well this is another huge blow to the hobby. I believe I have met this person once (he/she is a user on this forum) and sold him/her a pair of Hognose snakes. This person seemed nice enough. If the animals were, in fact, kept in deplorable conditions then I am glad they are being relocated. If it is just another SPCA exaggeration then I hope everything works out for him/her.
Cheers,
